Makes

I must be feeling a little nostalgic with the next Fast & The Furious around the corner because it occurred to me the other night that I've never done a Theme Tuesday on the Mitsubishi Eclipse (Eagle Talon) before. In my opinion the first two generations are the best looking so they make up the bulk of today's post but a fourth generation did manage to squeak in there.

Early last week Buni sent in a few photos of his m3 converted e91 Touring and Iended up posting one of them on the Facebook fan page.  Buni's touring was incredibly well received and is proof that of the nearly universal appeal of a OEM+ styled wagon.

In stock form the Exige is a pretty enticing package; weighing 2,015 lbs, and equipped with various mid mounted power plants ranging from 175hp to 250+ hp any model of this nimble Lotus is more than enough to get most people on the wrong side of a radar gun within a few minutes. Of course more than enough to some isn't more than enough to all and with Exige people just love to push the envelope.

This weekend I was watching Donnie Brasco and the Cadillac vs Lincoln debate combined with the sheer number of Caddys used in the movie set today's Theme Tuesday in motion. No real year, or model sub theme just a small collection of low cars adorned with the Cadillac emblem.

For whatever reason I've always found cars not available here in Canada intriguing regardless of what their actual build quality or reputation is. One such example of this are Opels, this isn't the first time I've posted an Opel of this vintage, and probably won't be the last. Somewhat bland at stock height Commodores start to look a whole lot better lower to the ground and fitted with a tasteful set of wheels.

Back when the site was in its infancy one of the first people outside of Canada to submit photos was Julian. Known online as Sleepy Wagon Julian owned an immaculate low, flush, Impreza wagon that always sat perfect no matter what wheels were under it. Currently Julian whips an Lexus LS400 and in his signature fashion it's not only low and fitted, it's exceptionally clean.

It's been awhile (a long while actually) since there's been a WTF Friday 'name that car' challenge so when I recently stumbled upon these gems I knew the time was right. The first person to correctly identify all of these artistic interpretations of standard auto mobiles will win a prize pack of items from The Stance Is Everything Store.

About three quarters of the way through writing last weeks Theme Tuesday I realized that there was no way to fit all of the companies I wanted into a post of reasonable length. What I didn't realize is how well received that post would be! I was honestly a little worried it would flop, now I might have to look into doing parts 3 and maybe for further down the road.

For years air suspension has had a reputation for being a sub par alternative to coil overs when it comes to building a vehicle where form shouldn't hamper function. This is of course an archaic mindset because like all other suspension systems on the market today air ride has evolved immensely since it's inception making nearly every negative "well my friend had air and..." statement a moot point.

Sorry for the delay between parts two and part three of the 2013 Mega Speed Coverage it wasn't really intentional, I just got busy getting a few ducks in a row (more on said ducks next week). Today's wrap up coverage has a little bit of everything that you couldn't find in the previous posts.

Sometime last year I got into a conversation about "real" wheel companies with a local enthusiast. Normally I try and avoid conversations like this all together but, this time I took the bait and asked the person to list off a few companies he considered real. The standard prerequisites (BBS, Volk, Work, and so forth) were fired off but I was a little shocked that he failed to mention any of the numerous new (or perhaps maturing) wheel companies that have been putting out original designs within the past 5 years or so.

One of the main reasons people choose modify their car is so that it's different than any other on the road, this is especially true when the platform you are working with is fairly common. During the time Stance Is Everything has been active Level One member Dan has built two unique, very low, and fairly well known Honda s2000s.
